LEARNING and
TEACHING
At The Crest Academy, we understand that outstanding Learning and Teaching
is a priority to allow all students to achieve their full potential.
All of our teachers, plan engaging and exciting lessons, focused around our ‘Crest
Essentials’. These are key ingredients, which we believe need to be present in
every lesson, to ensure that students make outstanding progress. Each Curriculum
Area, has planned engaging and exciting programmes of learning for each term, to
ensure that learning time is maximised.
Our Curriculum Areas, are staffed with hard working and committed staff, who have
strong subject knowledge along with a real belief in our vision of ‘every student
ready for university, every student a leader’. We know that it is important for
our teachers to continually develop theirr classroom craft and with this in mind
we have invested in a clear programme of development to ensure that our staff
can be the very best that they can be, and support your son/daughter to achieve
their full potential. Each Curriculum Area has a ‘Lead Practitioner’ who is an
outstanding classroom teacher, who’s primary role is to work with other colleagues
to constantly reflect and refine their classroom practice, ensuring that learning is
maximised for all students.
All of our classroom practitioners, also benefit from weekly ‘learning and
teaching coaching’ giving all teachers an opportunity to collaborate, share ideas
and work together to make their lessons as exciting and innovative as possible.
Teachers receive regular feedback on their classroom practice and participate in
weekly professional studies programmes to further improve their skills.
